You public broadcasted it in your own thread. You're not the only one who lurked.

It's okay, don't be embarrassed, it's normal. Means you're healthy. Good blood circulation.

    Oh, come on! What did this topic turned into from my highly intelectual debate on the numbers to such silly things like people thinking that they are entilted to something just because of reasons?

    Also,

    Cantiara

    If not for the fact that I'm broke and we are on the other sides of the world, I would invite you for a beer for your calm responses. I guess living in Poland where I get to experience this kind of attitude first hand in reality makes me all the more vulnerable to the people that dare to claim that they are owed something...

      MotivatedSloth Don't tell me to check again, when I have the efing contract on my hands dude. That is how much 1 coin is worth. it's $0.02. I also said that if they do give those bonuses then yes, it's not going to be those higher range prices. By the way, before you reply and quote me, read the whole thing. That is for the future.

      MotivatedSloth 1500 chapter novel, means that you have from 1 500 000 words to 3 000 000 words. This alone is like almost 19 standard lenght novels (80k words, 18.75 times). Cost IN COINS ONLY would equal to 15000x0.01$ = 150$.

      And I used a novel that has 2.4m words?... Which is an average? What's your point? 1200 chapters will cost $120 with the bonus coins included... You are basically repeating me again. That whole section, is useless. Read what I wrote, please.

      DarkRay Yep, it would cost that much if we looked at the rate alone (1 coin = 0.02). Obviously, that is incorrect as long as those bonuses exist.

      There, I just wrote: as long as those bonuses exist. What's more:

      DarkRay Now if they give you those bonuses, you'd pay (no fast passes, only pay) around $120. That is if they give you those bonuses, otherwise this number is double.

      Read what I wrote.

      MotivatedSloth he can keep paying 1$ for 100 coins every time he runs out of it. So yes, it's that easy.

      It's true, therefore I'll give you that (it's actually 50 coins, 50 are bonus. You pay for 50, not a 100. The other is a gift, which can be taken away in the future. Keep that in mind). Annoying a bit, that you have to do those micro transactions all the time, but it is a way, and I didn't spot it. Kudos to you.

      MotivatedSloth YOu still using 0.02$ per coin,

      Because that is the fricking rate. I didn't set this rate up, Webnovel did. They don't count bonus coins. They count coins that you paid for. For all I know, they can stop giving those bonuses.
      "In a Premium chapter, 100 words = 0.01 USD.
      101 words count as 200 words, which would amount to 0.02 USD
      0.02 USD = 1 Spirit Stone
      A Premium chapter with 1000 words would require 5 Spirit stones to unlock, and would amount to 0.1 USD."

      There you go. Got it when SS were still used. Go complain to them, not me.

      MotivatedSloth Divide it by 60 days, and you still have 50k words per day, which trust me, is insane.

      People can read 2k chapters in about 10 minutes, hell even I can achieve that. Don't assume stuff, you don't know. When I was younger, I could read for whole day. I know what binge reading is and was, when gravity tales and such was still around. People can watch 10h of footage daily. Maybe you can't, and maybe I can't now either, but we are not all people or the userbase here. (Something to keep in mind, when you want to do "numbers").

      MotivatedSloth Thats where problem of your logic is burried.

      That is where you make up numbers. Again, you have no proof backing you up. I took average numbers of the novel, chapters and whatnot. I could continue with 90 days of reading and so on. You can extrapolate on that. Besides, I wrote specifically about those bonuses. Don't be so sure you will keep them forever. It's not guaranteed.

      MotivatedSloth If we take an average reader who let's say reads an hour a day

      Show me numbers. How do you know the daily reading time of the userbase? You don't know, that is the answer you are looking for. So don't come up with those numbers, if you don't have them.

      MotivatedSloth To sum things up - if you are an average reader, you need to pay only 48$ TOTAL, for 3kk words book

      Using your numbers, which you assumed for someone to read 1h a day, and make full use of those fast passes. That is like the best case scenario ever. No, actually the best would be fast passes all the way. Your example is very, Very optimistic. Probably unreal too. Again, you used 3m words for whatever reason while I use no. of chapters (and my word count on average was 2.4m so... what's your point? We are talking about paid chapters after all, you know the 1200 paid chapters?). You used the very bottom range of user's reading time, while I showed different ranges. That is cherry picking mate.

      In fact, I can easily say an average person reads for 5 hours a day (or whatever number). They can read 20 chapters of 2k length. if we take away 3 fast passes, we have 17 for which they pay. that is 170 daily (10 coins on average right? 2k words on average =10 coin per chapter average). To read 1200 paid chapters, they would need... oh I don't know... 60 days... wow what a coincidence? 60x170 =? 10200 coins. Oh, doesn't that equal to a $100 in order to pay for that? (If you can't see that yet, YES it does include those bonuses and it's exactly what I wrote before... Bites).

      Yea, and these numbers are not that big at all. People can read 20 chapters a day, or I should say, they do read 20 chapters a day (as long as they have something to read).There you go. I can read over 5 chapters a day, and I have fucking work to do as well as my own novel to write. Thank you.

      MotivatedSloth To sum things up

      If you want to make up numbers as you please, yea I guess you are right? In the future, it might be even more expensive. Something to keep in mind. And stop misrepresenting my points. I gave you clear data, that anyone can follow and repeat. If you still want to argue about how much each coin is worth, go to officials. The quote I gave you, is basically from them. There, hope this answers whatever you had.

      MotivatedSloth

      Damn, it looks like you got yourself another response. That's what you get when you're too passionate when you're responding to people.

      And I thought I've hijacked this thread enough, talking about @Rak0's tail...

      But hey, you're in Poland? There's just one country separating us. I'm to your west. Maybe one day, mate, maybe one day.

        .....So what’s actually being argued? Just a remark because all these numbers make it sound like the main idea about fast pass, spending, and income is agreed upon but not the exact numbers, so the point of this discussion is....? πŸ€” I may be missing the point of contention since from what I got, it just sounds like two mathematicians debating~

          I think it started when someone said something about paying 500 bucks to read a half complete web novel...

          Then MotivatedSloth argued, then DarkRay counterargued, and then, and then... I lost it. That's when the wine started to kick in.

          Oh well, I'mma sleep now. It's like way past midnight here. Speaking of which, you too MotivatedSloth , SLEEP!

            Yeah.. I guess you are all correct. Ranting on an empty stomach and sleepy memory gives headache.. After a sumptous breakfast finally my head clears up. No points crying over and over. Well,just make do with whats left I see πŸ˜žπŸ˜’πŸ˜’

            • Rak0 replied to this.

              MotivatedSloth Here, you can also have a proof. A guy who read chapters on my novel in 1 day. You can see how many he read. (mind you, I have examples of the past, and I can prove that people read much more than 20 chapters in a day)

              I blanked out the username, but I can also undo it if you really don't believe.
